Baking ♥ Making ♥ Living

Category: intro

The last couple of months were full of exciting, wonderful news – the most exciting thing that happened by far is lying right next to me, smiling and making my heart melt every day over and over again: our beautiful daughter Frieda.
Frieda was born 3 months ago and for all that time we were busy getting to know her, spending as much time as possible with her and giving her all our love.

But even before that life got the better of me and all my plans to write new articles here as we bought our first house and moved in only a few weeks before Frieda was born. It was a crazy but very special and great time as well and thanks to the amazing help of family and friends we are were we are now.

Anyway, now I’m back and I can’t wait to get into blogging again. I’m starting next week with one of my favourite things: The Food Exchange with Lucya from Lucya bakes.
Apart from that I tried out a few more new recipes, travelled a bit and spent some time crafting – so loads of things I cannot wait to share with you!

Thank you so much for stopping by and reading my blog!
Lots of love,
Greta.

Do you also sometimes have the problem that you want to give someone a voucher as a present but struggle to find a nice way to wrap it?
I mean, of course you can always use a nice card with an envelope, but sometimes I like to think of something a little bit different.
The way I wrapped vouchers for a game of football I’ve seen before somewhere online, but I didn’t have any instructions so I just made it up.

I think it is a really nice way to wrap a gift and if you would like to give it a go as well I took a few pictures and wrote a small tutorial in this blogpost.
Enjoy!

Now I am looking forward to October, to autumn, to warm colors and cozy evenings at home whilst it is cold and windy outside. There is going to be a super easy chocolaty recipe on the blog, that Lucy recommended to me as well as a small DIY gift idea.

I just realized that I didn’t actually write many posts in May, the month just went by too quickly. The highlight was that we spent a couple of days in Bavaria in my family’s cottage. It was really great and if you want to read more about it and look at the pictures just click here.
The Food Exchange in May was about biscuits and I made digestives that you can eat with cheese or that you can coat with chocolate. Seriously, they are so tasty!
I also finally used the few days of good weather to write about our small up cycled pallet bar in the garden. It is so easy and quick to make and it makes a bit difference in our small garden.

In June I am really hoping for better weather! We wan’t to have a picnic in the park, barbecues with friends, watch the football…and just have a great month :).
What are your plans in June?

I am really looking forward to April, hoping it brings better weather! I won’t be able to write a lot about my Easter bakes and decoration because I will have six visitors so I’ll be pretty busy I guess. Nevertheless I will share with you a recipe for a Easter carott cake.

During the last weeks I discovered how much I enjoy working in the garden, so you can imagine that there will be a post about a few things I did in my garden.
After showing pictures of Liverpool I think a blog post about Manchester would be nice as well…and the rest will be just spontaneous – but will probably involve baking and crafting as always :).

Welcome!

My name is Greta and I have a passion for crafting, sewing, crocheting, cooking and baking – any project where I can work with my hands. I love the feeling of an idea developing in my head; then creating it from start to finish. I see so many nice and pretty things every day that are worth sharing on a blog like this.
